Don't know if I answered this, but my average is 1-2 books a month (if I'm lucky) I only tend to read in bed at night and if I am out in town and stop for a cuppa. I should make time to read more, rather than sitting on the computer of an evening, but that is when I catch up here...lol .

Went to see 'Love is all you need' with a couple of friends on Monday...the latest from Pierce Brosnin....was rather good. In Danish with subtitles but lots of it in English too. He was rather lovely in it.

Just to warn you I will be going to a ,mega huge book sale next week with a friend....will be looking out for Diane Chamberlain and Kristen Hannah, thanks to you...

Had sis and nephews here for the weekend and was so lovely to see them bring some nice weather with them...spent most of Sunday afternoon in the garden enjoying the sun

'The Postmistress' by Sarah Blake Another book that had been sitting unread on my shelf, picked and put down again. Eventually decided to read it. I wasn't sure what I expected from this book, but as the title suggested you thought it would be about 'The Postmistress' but it is more than that as she is only one of the characters. It is set in 1940 and based in Cape Cod where Iris James is postmistress and Emma Fitch, the local doctor's wife. They both listen to American radio reporter, Frankie Bard, who transmits her radio coverage of bomb shattered London. She sees and hears things she feels those back home need to know about in the safety of their war free environment. She travels into Europe and records everyday ways of life from those fleeing from war. Emma's doctor husband goes to work in London, as he feels he would be of more use there after a traumatic incident happens in his capacity as a doctor at home....she awaits patiently for his return. However after one night in London these three women will be linked by twists of fate and a letter that Frankie is determined to deliver to its address in Cape Cod. I can't go in to too much detail as this would divulge the outcome but this book was well written and it was good to hear of war time experiences from a womans point of view. It was well researched too and the characters believable. 3.5/5

No disgrace there for them Sedge....done very well, you should be well chuffed. Andy and 'Dale beaten 2-1 on Saturday said they got a bollicking in the changing room afterwards apparently...lol. Dropped a place due to goal difference. Just have the two games left of the season, one agains league leaders and the other are mid table. U'15's had there last game last Thursday and binned 11-0 against the league winners and probably will get promoted. Ho hum...chuck this season behind them and look forward to a fresh start and new league after summer.

Andy and Glendale had an away game tonight and came home with a 3-1 victory. They had been sitting 3rd bottom but moved a notch on Saturday 4th after their win and another notch tonight so 5th from bottom, 9th out of 13. Doing their usual trick of starting well in season....rubbish in the middle...and finishing well.

Way to go guys....fantastic whoop 7-0! Maybe 2 will be the lucky number for you all this year...

I loved Midwife's confession and like you taken by surpise the twists, but definitely added to the story. I see you Afterwards on you list too...this is another of my reads last year. Hope you enjoy when you come to read it. Have you read her other one 'Sister'?

Spiders are cool.... ...don't squish them.

4th place looking more a cert for you....and you can always dream of 2nd..good for it guys After all the goings on after Thursday night with 'stupid' coach guy, the boys put in another brave performance today, but beat 9-0. Again Andy and his other coach said how they had played well and more positives again. They have their last league game on Thursday next week, but of a travel away game, and no doubt will be desperate to put this season behind them. There is talk of perhaps have just the two leauges next season....A & and a larger B league. Depends if any teams drop out etc.

Sedge....good news today and Andy could do with it this week after all the hassle.....Glendale 3-0 Rattrays XI....3 much needed points and it was sunny and not cold!

In the post another RISI swap book.....Stolen by Lesley Pearse. I can't remember if I have read any of her books before, but is sounded good. Making progress too with 'The Postmistress'

Great win Sedge with 4-0...4th place here you come by the sounds of it. How many games left? Alexi, thanks for your kind comments and yes enjoyment, learning etc it his top priority, winning is a bonus etc. U'15's had a game tonight....bad defeat but they played some great footie tonight. Sunny but still windy, which just doesn't help the game at all. (12-1 defeat). Andy and his other coach were well pleased with them. I heard him tell them how well they had played and not to bother about the score, disappointing yes, but lots of encouraging passing play tonight etc. Still no outcome of the saga. An email was sent to all the parents this morning from the culprit supposedly trying to defend himself. I can't go in to all the detail, but the email wasn't copied to Andy or his other coach. At the end of it he had such I have no choice now but to resign as of now. Andy only found out about the email by his other coach sending a message asking about the email, but he replied he didn't get one. He managed to get a copy of it emailed from a parent. Was totally gobsmacked by what the guy had written, and the most hurtful thing was something about 'lack of coaching and development'....what the f.....! Andy has been with these boys for 8yrs! Has been totally committed to them, even although on one occasion was approached to go to another club! Doesn't it say something that a few of the players they have had in the past have been scouted by higher up leagues and he has wished them well with their moves. Does their coaching not count for anything? These boys are only 14 and still learning the game every time they play. Anyway Andy then replied to all the parents with a reply to the email, stating facts that were wrong and explaining why etc. He has the backing of the players and parents. This guy is truly out of order. He came along tonight as his step son was playing in team, stood at the sidelines, which was fine, made no contact with anyone. Andy didn't want anything said before or during the game anyway. Once the game was over the boys gathered for team talk with Andy and other coach, he then half expected him to come over and hopefully have a word with the boys and apologise. Did he hell...! We gathered up all the equipment etc, and disperssed and no apology to the boys, not a word. Back to car park, hubby and I putting things in car and 'he' asked Andy if he could have a word (other coach was there too). We weren't allowed to listen. Basically he mouthed of at him and said he would not be aplogising as didn't think there was anything he needed to apologise for etc. he ranted on and on, and Andy back at him, not shouting at each other but raised voices. By the end of it was obvious that he just wanted to have a go at Andy, but he was contradicting himself back and forth when they brought up issues, etc. In the end Andy had to walk away, before he said something he would regret....to which said bad coach said 'Grow up Andy'. Oh and he mentioned lawyers at one point to Andy to if he went down the road of Child Protection! What the.....! Andy is now going to take advice from his Active Schools coordinator he has contact with re Child Protection, but he/we think that he really needs to let someone within the club committee (maybe Child Protection officer too) know about this situation, before 'bad' coach goes mouthing off about it/Andy to others. I felt sick to the stomach after all this tonight and have to say Andy was actually shaking after it all he was so mad wound up with adrenaliln. Glad he had his other coach with him to listen to it all. Sorry I could go in to more detail, but am too tired....rant over (thanks for listening).
